The point behind the Downing Street memo is that the President was determined to go to war with Iraq BEFORE that evidence was given to him.

Besides, Bush has never had a problem ignoring evidence if it doesn't suit him (see the numerous environmental reports that have had conclusions twisted or outright changed).
edit: Also, I expect the President to look into something like that further before committing all these troops to it. Why were so few othe countries convinced that the evidence was good? Maybe we should have looked to them instead?

Hate to burst your bubble, but 50 pages is almost nothing when it comes to making a decision of that magnitude.Originally Posted by Glirk Dient
I'm remind of the quote, "The last time the French asked for more proof, it ended up marching into Paris under German flag".Why were so few othe countries convinced that the evidence was good? Maybe we should have looked to them instead?

If I did your homework for you, then you might pass your class without learning how to write a program like this. Then you might graduate and get your degree without learning how to write a program like this. You might become a professional programmer without knowing how to write a program like this. Someday you might work on a project with me without knowing how to write a program like this. Then I would have to do you serious bodily harm. - Jack Klein
Well it's a half day at work and I don't have to be there until 1, and as it turns out they're not going to tent-off the first floor until Wednesday.oh hey good rebuttal

Obviously Bush doesn't know, because last thing I heard, Jordan is still a sovereign stateIn the weeks before the imminent invasion - hundreds of trucks were seen leaving for Jordan.

She was so Blonde, she spent 20 minutes looking at the orange juice can because it said "Concentrate."
When in doubt, read the FAQ.
Then ask a smart question.
Both of those sources are biased enough that they can be essentially dismissed out of hand, sean. The UN whining page complains about assignments of countries to Council posts, as well as complaining about a non-involvement of the UN in various things around the world. If I remember correctly, we didn't exactly jump at the chance to help those particular places, either. The second decides that Saddam really did have all those weapons based on some engines being found that could be used in rockets. This is very similar to the Bush claim about the stainless steel rods found earlier.

Here is a google search that has a few more articles on WMD equipment being removed.
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q...=Google+Search
When I said 50...I made that up. Each piece of evidence may have had that many pages attached to it, I'm just saying is there is a whole lot of evidence and things that point to WMDs. This is just like the OJ Trial, all of the evidence is there but people still claim he is innocent.
There is too much evidence and reason for me to think he didn't have WMDs, gassing his own people, nearby countries being given weapons they can't produce on their own, equipment being removed. He had the means to make them and the motive, and he also had the means to hide every shred of evidence.
OK thanks I couldn't use google on my own. Show me a credible source out of that mess. I'm not going to do your research for you.

Oh no ..........?
> This is just like the OJ Trial, all of the evidence is there but people still claim he is innocent.
It's sure a good thing that we got rid of that whole "jury" thing and let Glirk Dient decide the fate of everyone.
> nearby countries being given weapons they can't produce on their own
Proof, please.

Here is an interesting article.
http://projects.sipri.se/cbw/researc...heet-1984.html
It talks about how Iraq used mustard gas, how Iraq developed the ability to create WMDs on its own and how well they hide it.
This article says that Iraq did not come up with sufficient evidence that it destoryed all of its WMD stockpile.
http://www.fas.org/spp/starwars/crs/98042705_npo.html
Here is a pre invasion article that says Iraq has unaccounted stockpile and possibly the ability to quickly create WMDs
http://archives.cnn.com/2002/WORLD/m.../iraq.weapons/
Here is a good read to refute the downing street memo
http://allthingsconservative.typepad...emoshmemo.html
That's the same AP article 5 times. Also, considering the theft occured after our invasion it's more a testament to our incompetence than anything else.None of these have anything to do with Iraq, except tangentially. I don't think it's news to anyone that Jordan has terrorists in it.That article from 5 years before the invasion?This article says that Iraq did not come up with sufficient evidence that it destoryed all of its WMD stockpile.So, that article was wrong. What's your point?Here is a pre invasion article that says Iraq has unaccounted stockpile and possibly the ability to quickly create WMDsWow, what an awesome source! Maybe I should start linking you to some DemocraticUnderground bloggers and we could have a real party!Here is a good read to refute the downing street memo
